Get in touch with our customer advisor to discuss specific requirements and a deeper dive on what Fortra's data classification software can do.
How We’re Different
Unlike other solutions that offer simplistic "sensitivity labels," Fortra DCS enables users to define and utilize a wide range of identifiers, including department, customer, and country, for precise data categorization. Fortra DCS uses metadata as a fundamental part of the solution, and the solution, in turn, provides the structure of how the business should interpret the metadata. While DCS can label document sensitivity, it goes beyond this functionality to address the complexities of today's regulatory environment. By leveraging Fortra DCS, organizations can achieve complete data protection and navigate compliance requirements with enhanced efficacy and precision.
